Halfway Between 5 and 300

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 300?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=5 and Y=300.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 300, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 300 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 300)/2 = 152.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 300 is 152.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 152.5 and subtract 152.5 from 300 and compare the two numbers:

152.5 - 5 = 147.5
300 - 152.5 = 147.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 147.5 higher than 5 and 147.5 lower than 300. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 152.5 above is correct.
